Milpa system at Alba Garcia's

Our first day out in the fields was with Alba Garcia, who we met through the charity Puente. She uses the traditional ‘milpa’ system to grow a combination of corn and amaranthe, as well as beans and hibiscus. Most of the amaranthe has already been harvested, but we saw fields being freshly ploughed and new seed being planted.
